In the labyrinthine corridors of the U.S. Congress, Rep. Bryan Steil (@RepBryanSteil) demands his colleagues resist the urge to tack irrelevant issues onto crucial crypto bills. He argues this habit is delaying essential regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act—designed to regulate stablecoins and crypto markets—before lawmakers head for recess. The anti-government athlete in me admires Steil’s call for focus in an industry hungry for clear rules. If they succeed, maybe, just maybe, digital assets will find their launchpad from the cages of political posturing.
